This past week has been extremely busy! There just is not enough time to get everything done it seems. I have finally almost finished my Christmas shopping, just stocking stuffers and wrapping. And of course bake cookies! We got a little snow this past week to, it didn't stick around for long though. Am I the only one who needs some snow to realize that Christmas is almost here? It just doesn't seem like it yet.

For this weeks NoTW I thought I would do both Santa Suit and an easy present nail. I used Essie- 'A-List' and China Glaze-'I'd Melt For You' for the base colors. Than Morgan Taylor-'All White Now' and 'Little Black Dress' for the nail art accents. Essie's 'A-List went on great, I almost could have gone with only 1 coat but it was a little uneven. China Glaze ' I'd Melt For You' on the other hand is still streaky with 2 coats, it's a good thing I am doing a little something overtop of it.

After the base coats dried I used 'All White Now' to paint the 'fur for Santa's suit. I also used my fine detail brush and 'I'd Melt For You' and 'A-List' to paint on the ribbon on the present nails. I originally was only going to do a present on the silver nail but than decided to do a red one to.

Once the 'fur' dried it was time for the belt and buttons with 'Little Black Dress'. For the belt I just used the polish brush but for the buttons I grabbed a dotting tool.

Its starting to look more like Santa's suit!

Last it was time for the buckle on the belt. Using the fine detail brush I made a square around the black/white. While I was doing this part I thought I would add some 'berries to the centre of my presents to hid a few imperfections!

The finished Nail art! Not to bad if I do say so myself!

And that is how I ended up doing my Santa Suit and Presents NoTW. The weather may not be co-operating and making it feel like Christmas but at least my nails are!

Last weeks NoTW, a few chips and tip wear.

Last weeks NoTW lasted great, the usual few chips but it was hard to see them this week. I was quite happy with how the nail art lasted for the week. Have you done any CHristmas themed Nail Art lately? I'd love to see it! Until next week, have a Merry Christmas/Happy Holiday/ or just time off of work.
